Study Notes
Periodic Table Structure and Element Classification
- Periods: Horizontal rows on the periodic table, indicating the number of electron shells an element has.
- Groups: Vertical columns on the periodic table, where elements share similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
- Metals: Lustrous, conductive, malleable, and ductile elements (e.g., Iron, Copper).
- Non-Metals: Dull, poor conductors, and brittle elements (e.g., Carbon, Sulfur).
- Noble Gases: Inert elements with full valence electron shells, and low reactivity (e.g., Helium, Neon).
- Element Arrangement: Elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number.
- Element Categories: Elements categorized into Metals, Non-Metals, and Metalloids.
- Key Trends: Atomic size, ionization energy, and electronegativity are key trends across the periodic table.
Acids, Alkalis, and Balancing Chemical Equations
- Acids: Substances with a pH less than 7, sour taste, and turn blue litmus paper red. Examples include HCl and H₂SO₄.
- Alkalis (Bases): Substances with a pH greater than 7, slippery feel, and turn red litmus paper blue. Examples include NaOH and KOH.
- Neutralization Reaction: Acid + Base → Salt + Water.
- Acid-Base Indicators: Substances which change color to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Examples include litmus paper, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange.
- Universal Indicator: Shows pH on a scale.
- Natural Indicators: Extracts from plants (e.g., red cabbage juice).
- Acids' Uses: In industrial production, cleaning agents, and food preservation.
Displacement Reactions
- Displacement Reaction: A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element from its compound.
- Example: Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu.
- Applications: This includes metal extraction, and galvanization.
Upcoming Topics and Experiment Protocols
- Advanced Chemical Reactions: Future topics will extend on chemical reaction concepts.
- pH and Reactivity Experiments: Upcoming classes will include experiments focused on pH measurements and reactivity.
- pH Scale: Ranges from 0 to 14, measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions.
- Experimental Protocols: This includes appropriate use of pH meters, solution preparation, and safety precautions.
